About this listen

The Hollywood way of life has long been a potent mix of scandal, secrecy, and sensation: exactly like the Hollywood way of death....

In this unique study, Peter Underwood charts the lives, loves, and deaths of 30 of Tinseltown’s most glittering stars. Many deaths were sad or senseless; some were tragic; others were the revenge of old age, while a few were the revenge of something altogether more sinister....

The untimely, sensational deaths of legends Marilyn Monroe and James Dean are here: so too is the tragic demise of Jean Harlow, whose Christian Scientist mother banned medical help to the end. Arthur Farnsworth - Bette Davis’ husband - is included as a mysterious (not to say suspicious) death, as is the possible murder of Superman George Reeves. Others in this compelling catalog of colorful lives and different deaths include Merle Oberon, Sammy Davis Jr, Mary Pickford, John Wayne, Humphrey Bogart, Gary Cooper, and Groucho Marx.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Possibly a very interesting book, but made virtually unlistenable by the narrators flat, monotonous tone and mispronounced words.

Awful narrator!

Factually wrong in a number of points (Lupe’s death seems to be a rehash of the Hollywood Babylon fiction). Narration is very poor.

Interesting but not the most well researched book

The narrator wasn't up to much. Got me to sleep a few times though. ok

narration a bit monotone

Loved every word of this audio book, so informative about stars of old Hollywood. Loved it loved it loved it

Golden Oldie

To be honest there was a lot in here that I already knew. However it was still interesting and kept me listening to the end. My biggest problem with this book was the narrator, I had to almost double the speed otherwise I would have fallen asleep listening to him. Perhaps this is one book that is better in hardback!

This WAS an entertaining book but it was full of unsubstantiated facts (the Marilyn Monroe portion was just embarrassing). the narration was dreadful! Most of the time it sounded as though he would rather be doing ANYTHING (having a root canal, watching paint dry, shoving toothpicks under his fingernails even) rather than reading this aloud! It had its moments but all in all, a pretty lousy effort!

Entertaining if taken with a pinch of salt.

The voice is very dull amd monotonous, shame because I was looking forward to the subject.

Boring

the narrator has the dullest voice, stopped listening half way through, disappointing because I was just the stories just couldn't stand the null speaker
